Unique Queries
Hooray for the Sophomore class!
In the primary elections 35% of
the Sophomores voted. The Fresh-men
slipped into second place po-sition
with 28% voting. Only 22%
of the Juniors voted in the pri-maries.
The Seniors, with only
19% of their members voting, are
the "old cow's tail."
A number of Sophomores are also
upset that the presidential speech-es
took place on Wednesday morn-ing
during the Sophomore testing.
This conflict was unavoidable as
the Monday chapel would have
been too early. Tuesday was tied
up with the Senior and Sophomore
testing, Thursday chapel was al-ready
reserved, and Friday would
have been too late due to the
fact that voting begins on Thurs-day.

Significant Campus Issues
Demand Prudent Hearing
The approaching year is of ultimate importance to the
development and very existence of Student Senate. The student
body has expressed in a rather positive manner that it does
in fact want senate to continue, but the manner in which
it continues is of question. Senate now is at a crossroads —
the crucial point between becoming an effective, responsible,
empowered governing body and being shelved into insignifi-cance
by the paternal instincts of the administrative hierarchy.
For this very reason students must recognize the impor-tance
of the present presidential campaign. Issues of signifi-cance
must be raised that demand a hearing from both candi-dates.
The editorial staff of the CLARION would take the
opportunity to bring some of these to the forefront, demanding
a response.
First, in lieu of the tension that has existed this year
between the student publication and the governing body, a
tension, I might add, that is necessary for the active role that
the publication must play in judging and critically analyzing
the decisions of the Senate, it is our recommendation that
the budgets for the CLARION, SPIRE, and COEVAL be
withdrawn from the Senate budget and the publications,
therefore, from their jurisdiction. Funds will be alloted direct-ly
from the student inclusive fees, and control over the
publication administered only by the publications board.
Secondly, we believe student government can and must
become more powerful. Students presently have become dis-illusioned
by the token role they have been given in the
formulation of policy. There is, therefore, little incentive to
spend hours pondering questions concerning institutional
growth when they could be better spent earning grades which
will enhance one's own future.
Therefore, we recommend that students have direct rep-resentation
with voting power on all faculty and administrative
committees. To do this, such representation must be integrated
directly into the governing structure. For example: 1) requiring
reports to be given at senate meetings; 2) having committee
recommendations pass through the legislative process before
they are presented to the appropriate committee; 3) providing
the student government office as a place for the development
of a program to carry out committee recommendations when-ever
possible.
It is also important to have student representation at
all Board of Education meetings. Voting privileges could not
be given, but a student voice must be heard when policy
is decided that directly affects the campus community. A
case-in-point — tuition increase.
We also believe in the development and furtherance of all
community facets of Bethel. Therefore, we encourage that
strong consideration be given to the institution of an honor
system similar to the one presented to the student body two
years ago. This would give each student a responsible position
in participating ethically and academically in the Bethel Com-munity.
We realize also that one of the most serious impediments
to an undergraduate's experimentation in various courses other
than his major is the threat of lowering his honor point ratio.
Difficult electives that would broaden his education are, there-fore,
seldom considered. We, therefore, recommend that a pass-fail
system be instituted similar to that of Carleton College
ill certain electives outside one's major field.
We would also favor more effective, critical course
evaluation on the part of students concerning the impact of
professors, subject matter, and curriculum. This could con-sist
of a non-published evaluation administered by a student-faculty
committee to students and seen only by the professor,
or the report of the committee could be issued in a published
form to guide students in choosing a curriculum.
These are but a few important issues. We have raised
them. It is up to the candidates to answer them.

The CLARION takes the opportunity to pub-lish
editorial opinions from members of its staff
when significant opinions demand hearing. Thus
appears the following article by News Editor,
Jeff Loomis.
by Jeff Loomis
So the call has come again! The voices are
pealing, the bugle sounds. Become involved. Launch
out for Bethel. Join in the Senate chattering, the
activity band. Yes, join, and if you must lose track
of your inner self in the process, do it. Senate needs
you!
The dilemma is clear. Conflict between the ideal-ization
of activity and the need for self-realization
is a very relevant factor in the arguments of some
who would de-emphasize the value of Senate service.
Several senators who took part in the Senate
ban move last month were concerned with this very
problem. Student apathy did not worry them nearly
so much as did the lack of real inner searching among
Bethel students. While interest in campus activity
was ebbing, student mind-probing seemed to be on
the increase.
Evidence of this was seen in the response to
the "Doubt Session" scheduled at Edgren Dormitory
Lounge February 9, when Don Klingberg and 150
students were kept busy in a marathon-length dis-cussion
of the essence of Christian faith from 9:00
p.m. to 1:00 a.m.
These senators rejoiced in such interest, finding
it much more refreshing than Senate campaigns to
obtain students as committee members for some
sort of weekly Sno-Daze funfest.
Student apathy, if it made the average Bethelite
look at himself seriously, if it allowed him to get
alone where he could see the "hole" that something
like constant activity would leave in his search for
a meaning to life, was no curse but rather a blessing.
Yet, there certainly are problems in this type
of approach, also. First of all, it is obvious that all
students who are not among "the involved" are not
among "the searching."
It may well be that the average Bethelite is
rather among David Riesman's "lonely crowd",

relative class standing among

The test result alone will not
be cause to deny an applicant a
student deferment. It will thus not
"hurt" a student's chances. If he
is confident he will remain in the
upper fraction of his class, he may
"rest his case" on grades alone.
On the other hand, if his grades
should slip, a good test score might
make the difference with his local

simply moving and breathing and having his being
in a "go-to-class, go-to-lunch, go-to-Chapel, go-to-the
T.V. room" pattern, apparently oblivious to the truth
that there is something more (although I speculate
that he does know, probably more than the most
strifetorn "mind-searcher", the pain of meaningless-ness).
Secondly, Student Senate does not need to be
unalterably opposed to the "searchers", does it? For
Senate can be, and indeed should be, a benefit for
them.
Bethel extracurricular life, traditionally "weighed
in the balances and found lacking" as far as intel-lectual
stimulation is concerned, can use far more
in the controversy line, more speakers who, unlike
the typical Chapel lecturer, will shatter our biases.
Just as we need more all-night doubt sessions in
dormitory lounges, we are wanting in those one-hour
sessions that bring about the necessary doubts.
I am certain that present Student Senate leader-ship
has the hope that Bethel will become a school
where the annual social rituals (Sno-Daze, F-S and
J-S), while probably not eliminated, are not consid-ered
the only responsibilities of the Senate.
Bill Madsen expressed this thought when inter-viewed
for a previous CLARION, when he said: "...
next year's Senate should not spend much time
maintaining the traditional. Having more evening
forums and more off-campus speakers would be one
way to go about it." He also mentions the possibility
of starting a coffee house.
Yet it is a shame that present Senate leaders
haven't been able to do something of this nature
already. I don't believe the problem has been so
much student apathy as it has been no desire among
leaders to overcome apathy by being brave enough,
as students, to do what many adults fear doing.
that is to present the collegian with that different,
at-first shocking conflict between his belief and
another's that will awaken him to realization of a
fuller life, and a knowledge of the real Christ who
puts Christianity on the offensive against other
viewpoints rather than on the defensive.
We must realize that involve-ment
in Student Senate is no such
high-water mark of success as it
is pointed out to be. Mr. Schultz's
comment in the CLARION is
to me of dubious merit: "There
should be the desire to serve and
the desire to get involved in the
activities rather than to sit in the
backgrounds."
My answer is that sometimes to
sit in the background(s) when
there is no clear-cut reason for
doing otherwise is an extremely
sensible attitude. Un-involvement
is no "mark of the beast."
Why then call Senate an im-portant
institution simply because
a "democratic process" is a part
of our American heritage? Why
not recognize its real function as
being only that of an instrument
perhaps useful for obtaining some
desirable ends — truly desirable
ends. Then, instead of calling for
more who will answer the "chal-lenge
of involvement", allow those
with purposes beyond the tradi-tional,
purposes which require in-volvement,
to mold it to their ends.

JIM KEIM
Jim Kiem, one of the candidates

gain enough credits for his second
major, social science.
One of the reasons he is run-ning
for the office is because he
simply likes working with student

qualifications for the office were
he replied, "Well, I have a long
list of losses . . . ."
Concrete experience though has
been gained through working on
the CLARION as a Freshman, be-ing
secretary of Edgren as a Soph-omore,
heading the Religious Com-mittee,
and consequently being a
senator, as a junior, and serving
as a Resident Assistant both his
junior and senior years.
Jim doesn't think that any main
issues will be trumped up for the
campaign. He does, however, think
that some votes will be swayed
through a misunderstanding of his
stand on Freshman Retreat.
Last week's CLARION might
lead people to believe a decisive
change will be made to bring the
retreat closer to campus. This is
not necessarily so. Investigation,
however, will be made of this pro-ject.
Jim would like to see discussion
around campus concerning men's
social organizations based on living
areas. Through these the student
would find an intermediate social
climate between being either simp-ly
an individual or part of the
mass. In other words, it would
give the individual a meaningful
group loyalty.
Concerning the intercollegiate
organization Bethel belongs to, Jim

of such a group. Students execu-tives

He also recognizes as a school
problem the transportation facili-ties.
As a possible solution he
suggested a local version of the
proposed travel file.
By this means a student wishing
riders to a particular event (or
more broadly, particular city or
state) could be directed to a stu-dent
needing a ride. This, however,
is an area in need of further in-vestigation
before definite plans
are laid.
Jim made no predictions con-cerning
the election, but is look-ing
forward to a lively campaign.
RON HARRIS
Ron Harris, junior class presi-dent,
campaigns for the Senate
presidency with substantial exper-ience
in leadership, both in sports
and government.
H e has both played football
and has wrestled for three years
and has been co-captain of the
wrestling squad for two years. Al-so
during this year he has been
vice-president of the B-Club. Ron
will represent Bethel at the com-ing
Chicagoland College confer-ence.
Because of his background with
sports, especially football and

holding Freshmen Retreat off cam-pus.
He considers that it was the

started that brought the team into
real fellowship and feels the same

some activities.
A large part of Ron's program
would include more direct Senate
and student relations. Identifica-tion
of the students with their own
governing body is essential to the
smooth operation of the school
as a whole.
In addition, he would like to see
more training of underclassmen by
the experienced upperclassmen to
properly carry on the operation
of the school. This would not only
give proper representation but
would also use a balance of ex-perience
and enthusiasm found in
the four classes.
Ron is running independently
in order to devote his efforts to
policy making rather than party
politicking.
This number of volumes is the
minimum for consideration in the
Amy Loveman contest.

whose libraries contain a well-rounded

Bethel psychology majors are
now finalizing plans for participa-tion
in an area convention of col-lege
psychology departments to
be held on the Bethel campus
Saturday, May 13, 1966.
Aiming at greater interaction
between the local institutions as
well as the acquisition of know-ledge
on the student's part, the
meet will include presentation of
papers in the afternoon, opportuni-ties
to become familiar with pro-fessors
and programs of the var-ious
schools, and an evening din-ner
at which a well-known psy-chologist
will speak.
Undergraduate students are
urged to participate in the con-vention
program by reading a
paper. The types of papers or
their content is not being
strongly regulated, but empirical
this is possible, since many stu-dents
will have books at home
which appear on their lists. All
volumes should be marked with
the student's name.
Also included in the information
turned in by entrants should be a
list of ten books which they would
like to add to their collections and
reasons for their choice of these
titles.
The three judges will be chosen
from among the college faculty,
and will be announced in next
week's CLARION.

because they are more
easily presented in a brief oral
form than literature reviews or
broad theoretical discussions.
Those desiring to submit papers
for the convention should submit
their materials to the Program
Committee,__ c/o __Psychology__ De-partment,
Macalester College, by
Friday, April 22.
Necessary material is a two-page
abstract (or more complete manu-script)
of the paper, a statement
of the time necessary for present-ing
the paper, and a brief sponsor-ing
statement from a faculty mem-ber
familiar with the student's
efforts.
Decisions on the papers to be
presented and a schedule of the
convention events will be mailed
within the week following the

Those schools who will partici-pate
in the convention are Augs-burg,
Bethel, Carleton, St. Cather-ine,

The basketball and wrestling seasons are hardly completed before
the trackmen, tennis team, and baseball players try nudging their
participants out of the locker room. The baseball players clad themselves
in muddy spikes and the net men in shorts and racket while the
tracksters equip themselves with an aqua lung in preparation for the
long spring practices. One would readily call the Coast Guard to help
the trackmen since they bear the brunt of the melting snow.
Optimism in its purest form runs rampant, especially in the coach's
ranks. Coach Carlson calls his netmen potentially the best team in the
history of the school. Coach Glader looks forward to tough competition
as does Coach Cox — "the kind of schedule we should be playing."
This is not just a pre-season feeling of emotionalism that grips
coaches. Their team may lose the first four meets, but the optimism
of the coaches is never daunted. Perhaps that's what makes them
unique (besides ulcers).
The team will journey to Kansas, and the men will practice and
scrimmage until ripening game time. Then 400 students will pack
stands and watch the men who have worked so hard all spring. Popcorn
will be sold by the Letterman's Club, and cheerleaders will be out in
full force to lend support.
The Student Senate members who so courageously brave the
storms for the basketball games, will stir up support and even attend
the events themselves. Crowning of a queen will take place at one of
the events, and away meets will sport two or three busloads of cheering,
energetic students.
The same professors who so vociferously voice themselves at
other games will shout their approval as a track relay team breaks
another record or a baseball player slams a homer or a tennis player
sweeps a match.
Impossible? Nay. Imperative — if track and baseball and tennis
are to cease from merely "minor" sports.

April 7 marks the beginning of
the spring jaunt of Bethel's track
team into Iowa, Nebraska, and
Kansas. This marks the second
straight year the team will head
south for the Easter vacation.
Last year's trip was termed a
success by coach Gene Glader, even
though his thinclads won only one
meet. "It was the first time we
succeeded in having regular work-outs
and competition over the
Easter holiday since the ten-day
vacation period was initiated."
"In addition," Coach Glader
continued, "the warmer weather
encountered on such a trip is
very important in helping the
team get in shape."
This weather factor, however,
will have given the southern
schools an advantage over the
Bethel cindermen. Glader antici-pates
tough competition and feels
the team will be fortunate to post
victories in half of the six meets
because of weaknesses in the
weights and distance events.
It is hoped that increased
strength in the hurdles, sprints,
high jump, broad jump, and triple
jump will help offset the weakness
in other areas.
The first meet of the trip is
with Buena Vista College at
Storm Lake, Iowa. From there
the team will move on to Peru,
Nebraska, for a meet with Peru
State College before taking on
Kansas Wesleyan University at
Salina, Kansas.
The next meet is labeled by
Coach Glader as one of the more
coincidental aspects of the trip. It
will pit Bethel versus Bethel—the
other Bethel being Bethel College
of North Newton, Kansas, sup-
Bethel's Student Senate will bat-tle
the faculty in SPAN's Koffee
Kup game on Friday, April 1 at
8:00 o'clock. Upon immediate con
elusion of the game, the famed
Koffee Kup will be presented to
the winning team.
Proceeds of the annual game go
into the SPAN fund. The SPAN
organization underwrites up to
half of each SPAN participant's ex-penses.
This game is the primary
way to raise money for those stu-dents
going out this summer. More
funds will be needed this year
since this is the first year Bethel
is sponsoring two SPANer's.
It is hoped that at least 600
or 700 students will attend this
year's game. The price of admis-sion
is 25 cents. Dr. Johnson
says, "It'll be worth the price of
admission just to see the faculty
try to run up and down the
court." However, the faculty is
again confident of their usual
victory.
In previous years, the focus of

finish out the trip.
The team hopes to visit a total
of five churches on their trek,
acting in the capacity of a gos-pel
team. In doing so, Coach
Glader not only hopes the team
can make a contribution to the
churches they visit but that the
participation will "bring new
spiritual depth to us as a team
and individuals."
Visiting the churches will also
help minimize the cost of food and
the first half of the game was
clowning and the second half ser-ious
competition. This year the
evening's humor will stem chiefly
from the running commentary by
Allan Selander and Doug King.
Halftime entertainment will be
provided by a folk singing trio and
a German band. The game itself
is reserved as a contest of strength
between the faculty and Student
Senate.
Kathy Harvie is in charge of
Student Senate cheerleaders, and
the faculty is planning on hav-ing
their own organized rooting
section too. The faculty has
trained hard under the watchful
eye of coach Jerry Healy.
Faculty wives and their families
have enjoyed the opportunity the
yearly melee provides for seeing
their men in vigorous physical ac-tion.
The students also appreciate
the pitting of teacher against stu-dent
away from the classroom on
the courts where degree counts for
no man.
lodging, as well as give the
chance to represent Bethel.
Coach Glader said spring trips
are still in the experimental state
although last year's trip indicated
it could be a valuable practice. One
drawback of the trip is its cost,
which presents a problem for some
students.
Also, participating individuals
don't have the opportunity to
work or study during the vaca-tion
period.
However, the value of such a
trip cannot be denied. Speaking of
last year, Coach Glader said "the
experience of being and living to-gether,
and taking part in church
services developed an esprit-de-corps
in the team that we hope
we can maintain in future teams."

A number of Sophomores are also
upset that the presidential speech-es
took place on Wednesday morn-ing
during the Sophomore testing.
This conflict was unavoidable as
the Monday chapel would have
been too early. Tuesday was tied
up with the Senior and Sophomore
testing, Thursday chapel was al-ready

have been too late due to the
fact that voting begins on Thurs-day.

the CLARION Wednesday, March 30, 1966
Significant Campus Issues
Demand Prudent Hearing
The approaching year is of ultimate importance to the
development and very existence of Student Senate. The student
body has expressed in a rather positive manner that it does
in fact want senate to continue, but the manner in which
it continues is of question. Senate now is at a crossroads —
the crucial point between becoming an effective, responsible,
empowered governing body and being shelved into insignifi-cance
by the paternal instincts of the administrative hierarchy.
For this very reason students must recognize the impor-tance
of the present presidential campaign. Issues of signifi-cance
must be raised that demand a hearing from both candi-dates.
The editorial staff of the CLARION would take the
opportunity to bring some of these to the forefront, demanding
a response.
First, in lieu of the tension that has existed this year
between the student publication and the governing body, a
tension, I might add, that is necessary for the active role that
the publication must play in judging and critically analyzing
the decisions of the Senate, it is our recommendation that
the budgets for the CLARION, SPIRE, and COEVAL be
withdrawn from the Senate budget and the publications,
therefore, from their jurisdiction. Funds will be alloted direct-ly
from the student inclusive fees, and control over the
publication administered only by the publications board.
Secondly, we believe student government can and must
become more powerful. Students presently have become dis-illusioned
by the token role they have been given in the
formulation of policy. There is, therefore, little incentive to
spend hours pondering questions concerning institutional
growth when they could be better spent earning grades which
will enhance one's own future.
Therefore, we recommend that students have direct rep-resentation
with voting power on all faculty and administrative
committees. To do this, such representation must be integrated
directly into the governing structure. For example: 1) requiring
reports to be given at senate meetings; 2) having committee
recommendations pass through the legislative process before
they are presented to the appropriate committee; 3) providing
the student government office as a place for the development
of a program to carry out committee recommendations when-ever
possible.
It is also important to have student representation at
all Board of Education meetings. Voting privileges could not
be given, but a student voice must be heard when policy
is decided that directly affects the campus community. A
case-in-point — tuition increase.
We also believe in the development and furtherance of all
community facets of Bethel. Therefore, we encourage that
strong consideration be given to the institution of an honor
system similar to the one presented to the student body two
years ago. This would give each student a responsible position
in participating ethically and academically in the Bethel Com-munity.
We realize also that one of the most serious impediments
to an undergraduate's experimentation in various courses other
than his major is the threat of lowering his honor point ratio.
Difficult electives that would broaden his education are, there-fore,
seldom considered. We, therefore, recommend that a pass-fail
system be instituted similar to that of Carleton College
ill certain electives outside one's major field.
We would also favor more effective, critical course
evaluation on the part of students concerning the impact of
professors, subject matter, and curriculum. This could con-sist
of a non-published evaluation administered by a student-faculty
committee to students and seen only by the professor,
or the report of the committee could be issued in a published
form to guide students in choosing a curriculum.
These are but a few important issues. We have raised
them. It is up to the candidates to answer them.

The CLARION takes the opportunity to pub-lish
editorial opinions from members of its staff
when significant opinions demand hearing. Thus
appears the following article by News Editor,
Jeff Loomis.
by Jeff Loomis
So the call has come again! The voices are
pealing, the bugle sounds. Become involved. Launch
out for Bethel. Join in the Senate chattering, the
activity band. Yes, join, and if you must lose track
of your inner self in the process, do it. Senate needs
you!
The dilemma is clear. Conflict between the ideal-ization
of activity and the need for self-realization
is a very relevant factor in the arguments of some
who would de-emphasize the value of Senate service.
Several senators who took part in the Senate
ban move last month were concerned with this very
problem. Student apathy did not worry them nearly
so much as did the lack of real inner searching among
Bethel students. While interest in campus activity
was ebbing, student mind-probing seemed to be on
the increase.
Evidence of this was seen in the response to
the "Doubt Session" scheduled at Edgren Dormitory
Lounge February 9, when Don Klingberg and 150
students were kept busy in a marathon-length dis-cussion
of the essence of Christian faith from 9:00
p.m. to 1:00 a.m.
These senators rejoiced in such interest, finding
it much more refreshing than Senate campaigns to
obtain students as committee members for some
sort of weekly Sno-Daze funfest.
Student apathy, if it made the average Bethelite
look at himself seriously, if it allowed him to get
alone where he could see the "hole" that something
like constant activity would leave in his search for
a meaning to life, was no curse but rather a blessing.
Yet, there certainly are problems in this type
of approach, also. First of all, it is obvious that all
students who are not among "the involved" are not
among "the searching."
It may well be that the average Bethelite is
rather among David Riesman's "lonely crowd",

simply moving and breathing and having his being
in a "go-to-class, go-to-lunch, go-to-Chapel, go-to-the
T.V. room" pattern, apparently oblivious to the truth
that there is something more (although I speculate
that he does know, probably more than the most
strifetorn "mind-searcher", the pain of meaningless-ness).
Secondly, Student Senate does not need to be
unalterably opposed to the "searchers", does it? For
Senate can be, and indeed should be, a benefit for
them.
Bethel extracurricular life, traditionally "weighed
in the balances and found lacking" as far as intel-lectual
stimulation is concerned, can use far more
in the controversy line, more speakers who, unlike
the typical Chapel lecturer, will shatter our biases.
Just as we need more all-night doubt sessions in
dormitory lounges, we are wanting in those one-hour
sessions that bring about the necessary doubts.
I am certain that present Student Senate leader-ship
has the hope that Bethel will become a school
where the annual social rituals (Sno-Daze, F-S and
J-S), while probably not eliminated, are not consid-ered
the only responsibilities of the Senate.
Bill Madsen expressed this thought when inter-viewed
for a previous CLARION, when he said: "...
next year's Senate should not spend much time
maintaining the traditional. Having more evening
forums and more off-campus speakers would be one
way to go about it." He also mentions the possibility
of starting a coffee house.
Yet it is a shame that present Senate leaders
haven't been able to do something of this nature
already. I don't believe the problem has been so
much student apathy as it has been no desire among
leaders to overcome apathy by being brave enough,
as students, to do what many adults fear doing.
that is to present the collegian with that different,
at-first shocking conflict between his belief and
another's that will awaken him to realization of a
fuller life, and a knowledge of the real Christ who
puts Christianity on the offensive against other
viewpoints rather than on the defensive.
We must realize that involve-ment
in Student Senate is no such
high-water mark of success as it
is pointed out to be. Mr. Schultz's
comment in the CLARION is
to me of dubious merit: "There
should be the desire to serve and
the desire to get involved in the
activities rather than to sit in the
backgrounds."
My answer is that sometimes to
sit in the background(s) when
there is no clear-cut reason for
doing otherwise is an extremely
sensible attitude. Un-involvement
is no "mark of the beast."
Why then call Senate an im-portant
institution simply because
a "democratic process" is a part
of our American heritage? Why
not recognize its real function as
being only that of an instrument
perhaps useful for obtaining some
desirable ends — truly desirable
ends. Then, instead of calling for
more who will answer the "chal-lenge
of involvement", allow those
with purposes beyond the tradi-tional,
purposes which require in-volvement,
to mold it to their ends.

JIM KEIM
Jim Kiem, one of the candidates
for the presidency, will be a second
year senior next year in order to
gain enough credits for his second
major, social science.
One of the reasons he is run-ning
for the office is because he
simply likes working with student

government. When asked what his
qualifications for the office were
he replied, "Well, I have a long
list of losses . . . ."
Concrete experience though has
been gained through working on
the CLARION as a Freshman, be-ing
secretary of Edgren as a Soph-omore,
heading the Religious Com-mittee,
and consequently being a
senator, as a junior, and serving
as a Resident Assistant both his
junior and senior years.
Jim doesn't think that any main
issues will be trumped up for the
campaign. He does, however, think
that some votes will be swayed
through a misunderstanding of his
stand on Freshman Retreat.
Last week's CLARION might
lead people to believe a decisive
change will be made to bring the
retreat closer to campus. This is
not necessarily so. Investigation,
however, will be made of this pro-ject.
Jim would like to see discussion
around campus concerning men's
social organizations based on living
areas. Through these the student
would find an intermediate social
climate between being either simp-ly
an individual or part of the
mass. In other words, it would
give the individual a meaningful
group loyalty.
Concerning the intercollegiate
organization Bethel belongs to, Jim
definitely sees the danger of a

He also recognizes as a school
problem the transportation facili-ties.
As a possible solution he
suggested a local version of the
proposed travel file.
By this means a student wishing
riders to a particular event (or
more broadly, particular city or
state) could be directed to a stu-dent
needing a ride. This, however,
is an area in need of further in-vestigation
before definite plans
are laid.
Jim made no predictions con-cerning
the election, but is look-ing
forward to a lively campaign.
RON HARRIS

and government.
H e has both played football

and has been co-captain of the
wrestling squad for two years. Al-so
during this year he has been
vice-president of the B-Club. Ron
will represent Bethel at the com-ing
Chicagoland College confer-ence.
Because of his background with
sports, especially football and
football camp, Ron is strong for
holding Freshmen Retreat off cam-pus.
He considers that it was the
time together before the season
started that brought the team into
real fellowship and feels the same
is true of the incoming class. Trout

would be far and away more
beneficial to their introduction

The college is confronted with

some activities.
A large part of Ron's program
would include more direct Senate
and student relations. Identifica-tion
of the students with their own
governing body is essential to the
smooth operation of the school
as a whole.
In addition, he would like to see
more training of underclassmen by
the experienced upperclassmen to
properly carry on the operation
of the school. This would not only
give proper representation but
would also use a balance of ex-perience
and enthusiasm found in
the four classes.
Ron is running independently

policy making rather than party
politicking.
This number of volumes is the
minimum for consideration in the
Amy Loveman contest.

The basketball and wrestling seasons are hardly completed before
the trackmen, tennis team, and baseball players try nudging their
participants out of the locker room. The baseball players clad themselves
in muddy spikes and the net men in shorts and racket while the
tracksters equip themselves with an aqua lung in preparation for the
long spring practices. One would readily call the Coast Guard to help
the trackmen since they bear the brunt of the melting snow.
Optimism in its purest form runs rampant, especially in the coach's
ranks. Coach Carlson calls his netmen potentially the best team in the
history of the school. Coach Glader looks forward to tough competition
as does Coach Cox — "the kind of schedule we should be playing."
This is not just a pre-season feeling of emotionalism that grips
coaches. Their team may lose the first four meets, but the optimism
of the coaches is never daunted. Perhaps that's what makes them
unique (besides ulcers).
The team will journey to Kansas, and the men will practice and
scrimmage until ripening game time. Then 400 students will pack
stands and watch the men who have worked so hard all spring. Popcorn
will be sold by the Letterman's Club, and cheerleaders will be out in
full force to lend support.
The Student Senate members who so courageously brave the
storms for the basketball games, will stir up support and even attend
the events themselves. Crowning of a queen will take place at one of
the events, and away meets will sport two or three busloads of cheering,
energetic students.
The same professors who so vociferously voice themselves at
other games will shout their approval as a track relay team breaks
another record or a baseball player slams a homer or a tennis player
sweeps a match.
Impossible? Nay. Imperative — if track and baseball and tennis
are to cease from merely "minor" sports.

April 7 marks the beginning of
the spring jaunt of Bethel's track
team into Iowa, Nebraska, and
Kansas. This marks the second
straight year the team will head
south for the Easter vacation.
Last year's trip was termed a
success by coach Gene Glader, even
though his thinclads won only one
meet. "It was the first time we
succeeded in having regular work-outs
and competition over the
Easter holiday since the ten-day
vacation period was initiated."
"In addition," Coach Glader
continued, "the warmer weather
encountered on such a trip is
very important in helping the
team get in shape."
This weather factor, however,
will have given the southern
schools an advantage over the
Bethel cindermen. Glader antici-pates
tough competition and feels
the team will be fortunate to post
victories in half of the six meets
because of weaknesses in the
weights and distance events.
It is hoped that increased
strength in the hurdles, sprints,
high jump, broad jump, and triple
jump will help offset the weakness
in other areas.
The first meet of the trip is
with Buena Vista College at
Storm Lake, Iowa. From there
the team will move on to Peru,
Nebraska, for a meet with Peru
State College before taking on
Kansas Wesleyan University at
Salina, Kansas.
The next meet is labeled by
Coach Glader as one of the more
coincidental aspects of the trip. It
will pit Bethel versus Bethel—the
other Bethel being Bethel College
of North Newton, Kansas, sup-
Bethel's Student Senate will bat-tle
the faculty in SPAN's Koffee
Kup game on Friday, April 1 at
8:00 o'clock. Upon immediate con
elusion of the game, the famed
Koffee Kup will be presented to
the winning team.
Proceeds of the annual game go
into the SPAN fund. The SPAN
organization underwrites up to
half of each SPAN participant's ex-penses.
This game is the primary
way to raise money for those stu-dents
going out this summer. More
funds will be needed this year
since this is the first year Bethel
is sponsoring two SPANer's.
It is hoped that at least 600
or 700 students will attend this
year's game. The price of admis-sion
is 25 cents. Dr. Johnson
says, "It'll be worth the price of
admission just to see the faculty
try to run up and down the
court." However, the faculty is
again confident of their usual
victory.
In previous years, the focus of

finish out the trip.
The team hopes to visit a total
of five churches on their trek,
acting in the capacity of a gos-pel
team. In doing so, Coach
Glader not only hopes the team
can make a contribution to the
churches they visit but that the
participation will "bring new
spiritual depth to us as a team
and individuals."
Visiting the churches will also
help minimize the cost of food and
the first half of the game was
clowning and the second half ser-ious
competition. This year the
evening's humor will stem chiefly
from the running commentary by
Allan Selander and Doug King.
Halftime entertainment will be
provided by a folk singing trio and
a German band. The game itself
is reserved as a contest of strength
between the faculty and Student
Senate.
Kathy Harvie is in charge of
Student Senate cheerleaders, and
the faculty is planning on hav-ing
their own organized rooting
section too. The faculty has
trained hard under the watchful
eye of coach Jerry Healy.
Faculty wives and their families
have enjoyed the opportunity the
yearly melee provides for seeing
their men in vigorous physical ac-tion.
The students also appreciate
the pitting of teacher against stu-dent
away from the classroom on
the courts where degree counts for
no man.
lodging, as well as give the
chance to represent Bethel.
Coach Glader said spring trips
are still in the experimental state
although last year's trip indicated
it could be a valuable practice. One
drawback of the trip is its cost,
which presents a problem for some
students.
Also, participating individuals
don't have the opportunity to
work or study during the vaca-tion
period.
However, the value of such a
trip cannot be denied. Speaking of
last year, Coach Glader said "the
experience of being and living to-gether,
and taking part in church
services developed an esprit-de-corps
in the team that we hope
we can maintain in future teams."
